Steak
Reatha J.

Weather was great so we drove over to Benton Lees this week. The steaks are wonderful as always. Wait staff is attentive as usual. They had opened earlier in the day so I know they had plenty of time to clean the bathrooms but didn't . Even a little sweeping would do wonders for the rest rooms. Ladies and men's restrooms needed some cleaning. Overall a great visit and I will def be back.

Large sirloin

The steaks are still awesome and the service was great. Local folks and a local atmosphere. If you want a big city steak house, go to Atlanta!

This was my individual steak from the sirloin for 2.

First off, I want to say that I've been going to Benton Lee's since the early 80s. I came from a large family, so it was a special treat when we all went. I continued this tradition with my 6 children. Now, my grown children are carrying their families. We are all aware of the rising prices, so it only makes sense to look at the menu before driving an hour from home. I can't express enough the shock I felt when we sat down to order. The sirloin for 2 was $12 more than the official Benton Lee's Steakhouse web page. Sirlion for 2 is $55, not the $42, as advertised. The Ribeye is $45, not $33, the gator bites are $28, not $24, etc... I can't find one current menu price online. The Benton Lee's Facebook page has a link to the history but nothing on menu. Once you click the history link, you can go to the menu, but again, it's not accurate! It appears that someone representing Benton Lee's runs the Facebook page, as they posted on February 10th, that they are open and not affected by the rising of the Altamaha River. So why not update the menu prices? One can only assume. 4 of the 8 adults in our group ordered the sirloin for 2. I was one of them. My steak was smaller than I remembered them being. The other 3 were given out and they were exactly the size, mine should have been. I asked the server why mine was so much smaller. She told me that mine was actually the correct size and the other 3 were bigger than normal. What?? For $55? She brought me another steak to make up the difference. The picture I posted is what was handed to me first. You can compare my steak to the ones they have pictures of online, it's not the same. (But the pictures they have posted are the same from at least 2016) The quality of the food has gone down. The steak had no seasoning. The Cole slaw had an overwhelming taste of onions. The fries were dark brown, oily and mushy. Both sweet tea containers were empty. The new tea they brought out tasted like it had sweet n low instead of sugar. My grandson's steak sandwich was an overcooked piece of cube steak. (It looked like a piece of leather) Our meal for 8 adults and 3 children was almost $500 with the tip. While I'll always cherish the memories I have of spending time with my family here, I won't be back.

Off brand sauce.

First Bentons is charging extra for their steak meals due to covid. Which are expensive to begin with! And their oysters. Not sure why, but okay. We Found ourselves here at dinner on our Saturday drive from FL to GA and wanting to try something new. They don't bring the salad before hand and it's bagged salad. To top that off the salad they brought to us was wilted and gross and when we told the waitress she took it to the back and brought it back half full and it was like she picked out the bad pieces. Gross!!!! We left it on the table not touched. So on our plate was wilted salad, a roll that you'd bake at thanksgiving which wasn't good, a ribeye steak (the most expensive they charge for there), and a baked potato that was small and nasty tasting like it was over cooked. So out of my meal I ate my steak and a couple bites of potato. My husband had the same meal and ate the same and we paid 72 dollars. Definitely will not be back! And the steak sauce is Winn Dixie brand! I paid 29.00 a plate and couldn't even get Heinz 57?!?!

Otter Creek has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm 28 now and have been coming…read morehere since I was a kid. Even though we're from Virginia, whenever we're in Patterson, it's a must-visit--some things never change, and this place is one of them. I had the Surf & Turf with a 10 oz ribeye and fried shrimp, along with green beans. The steak was tender and flavorful, and the shrimp were golden, crispy, and fresh. We also had the Stuffed Flounder, served with cheese grits, a baked sweet potato, and coleslaw--a true Southern plate, made from scratch and full of comfort. The meal started with a warm dinner roll and a fresh side salad with thousand island dressing, and we finished it off with two incredible desserts: Chocolate Meringue Pie and Strawberry Shortcake. Both were rich, homemade, and absolutely worth saving room for. They're only open Fridays and Saturdays right now, so make sure to plan ahead. The portions are generous, the food is fresh, and the atmosphere feels like home. Otter Creek isn't just a restaurant--it's a Patterson tradition that continues to live up to its name

Great food served piping hot! Had to let it cool a little so as not to burn my mouth. Food quality…read moreand taste was excellent. Staff was super nice and helpful. The owner made her way around talking with customers. Overall great place. Can't wait to go back.

My steak was perfectly cooked, the potato was just right and my broccoli was just the right amount. I do not like a lot of seasoning on my steak and this was exactly the right amount. I did take home my cheese cake dessert. Will definitely make it my go to place.

I normally don't leave reviews, but this experience really needs to be shared…read more A member of our group was dining here with her under 1-year-old baby when a server accidentally spilled an entire glass of sweet tea directly onto the child. Accidents happen, and no one is blaming someone for that alone--but what happened after is the real issue. Instead of immediately checking on the baby, apologizing properly, or making any effort to fix the situation, the server disappeared. No manager came over, no one followed up to make sure the baby was okay, and no accommodations were offered. The table was essentially left to handle the situation themselves.When asked to speak to a manager/owner, no one came out at the time to address the situation. This isn't about a mistake--it's about the complete lack of accountability and customer care afterward. When a situation involves a baby, you would expect urgency, concern, and basic professionalism. Unfortunately, none of that was shown. I hope management takes this seriously and improves how situations like this are handled in the future, because this was extremely disappointing.
